Tareque Masud was a Bangladeshi independent film director, film producer, screenwriter and lyricist who died in a tragic accident on August 1 in 2011.

He first found success with the films ‘Muktir Gaan’ (1995) and ‘Matir Moina’ (2002), for which he won three international awards, including the International Critics’ FIPRESCI Prize, in the Directors’ Fortnight at 2002 Cannes Film Festival.

The film became Bangladesh’s first film to compete for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
